KCR is afraid of losing power soon: Revanth

PCC chief says CM failed to develop villages he adopted

- NARENDER PULLOOR | DC

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president (TPCC) and MP, A. Revanth Reddy said that Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao has realised that he would be ousted from power soon. It is this fear that has forced him to declare that TRS will be in power for the next 20 years, he said.

Reddy alleged that the wealth Rao looted in the last seven years would be recovered by the Congress government after it comes to power. Reddy completed his 48hour deeksha, as part of Dalit, Girijan Dandora programme, at Muduchinth­alapally village in Medchal Malkajgiri district on Wednesday evening with the PCC election management committee chairman Damodar C. Rajanarsim­ha offering him a glass of lemon juice.

Addressing the meeting, Reddy said that Rao was making all sorts of false promises, which people have now seen through. Rao is worried that in the next 20 months his political career could end as his government was bound to be unseated. He said that the Chief Minister has not fulfilled his developmen­tal assurances to the people of Muduchinth­alapally, the village he has adopted. In order to lay a road to his farm house, Rao increased the height of the road in Muduchinth­alapally, which is causing inundation during rains, he said. Urging that the Dalit Bandhu scheme be implemente­d across the state, he said that if there are problems of funds then the Congress would help the government in selling Secretaria­t and Assembly buildings and raise finances.

He wondered how a man who did not extend even `10,000 financial aid to flood-victims in

HE WONDERED how a man who did not extend even `10,000 financial aid to floodvicti­ms in GHMC limits, would give `10 lakh to dalits.

GHMC limits, would give `10 lakh to dalits.

Rao had assured 2BHK houses, community halls, veterinary hospital and roads in all

adopted villages, but had failed to honour them.

“I am ready to resign my Lok Sabha post, if Rao proves that he has fulfilled promises made for developing the adopted villages”, Reddy said.

The TPCC president came down heavily against minister Mallareddy and alleged that the minister had encroached government lands for constructi­ng a hospital.

He demanded a fullfledge­d probe into how the minister managed to get land and raise

funds for setting up medical and engineerin­g colleges and a hospital. Stating that Telangana was not achieved to benefit contractor­s like Mega Krishna Reddy and Jupally Rameshwar Rao, the Congress leader said that they would convert Pragathi Bhavan into Babasaheb Bahujan Bhavan especially for SC/ST students.

Revanth Reddy said that he was not aspiring to become a chief minister as “I am happy with the TPCC president post”.
